Wise Man

Uriah Heep

A-C#m-D-Bm-E-E7  (2x)

1. I sat before the wise man in the autumn of my youth
   And I told him all the things I had to know
   He said you have the future if you need to find the truth
   And in his eyes I saw that it was so

2. So I came around and asked him the meaning of live
   And as he smiled I saw a twinkle in his eyes
   He said with all his years there's still so much he has to learn
   And once again I saw that it was so

*: Keep on living, loving, waiting your turn
   Is the only way to ease your concern
   If you want to find your dream be sure
   You don't wake up too soon
   Or you'll find it easier shooting for the moon

R: Wise man wise man, which way should I run
   There's so many roads, so many ways to turn
   I'm like a blind man, lost in the sun
   I wanna be like you and be a wise man too
   But I'm looking for an easy way to learn

R: Wise man wise man...

R: Wise man wise man, which way should I run
   There's so many roads, so many ways to turn
   I'm like a blind man, lost in the sun
   I wanna be like you and be a wise man too
   I wanna be like you and be a wise man too
   But I'm looking for an easy way to learn
